Question

6 = m - 7/8

Explain how you got your answer.

Answer 1

Here is your equation:

$6 = m - \frac{7}{8}$

You're looking for m. To find m, you have to remove everything on the same side of it. On that side, you have:

$m-\frac{7}{8}$

You have $-\frac{7}{8}$. To remove it, you have to do the opposite of it, which is $+\frac{7}{8}$. To leave m alone, add $\frac{7}{8}$ to both sides.

$6 = m-\frac{7}{8} \\ \\ 6 + \frac{7}{8} = m-\frac{7}{8} + \frac{7}{8} \\ \\ 6 \frac{7}{8} = m$

You have your answer, which is $\bf 6 \frac{7}{8}$
